Book, it's time you begin already!
Come on, stop being boring and do something.

Something happened when they went through the Ritual […]. No matter how diminutive their stature before the Ritual, they returned transformed—tall and built like mountains

Is it the Black Dagger Brotherhood all over again? 😅

This is all a little morbid… even the sun has to rise "like a rotten egg"? Come on, give me a break 😅😆

I can't believe that in all the reviews I've read, no one pointed out the main fault here: THIS BOOK DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!

It goes with dialogues like:
“The sky is blue.”
“Oh, so I must be kindapped when I was a child.”
What. Why.

NOT. ANY. SENSE.
At all.

I picked this one mostly random, just based on ratings and the first few reviews that GR showed me… this has (almost) never ended well in the past 😅

Just a few pages in, and I already have the first red flag: unusual hair color.
But let's not be hasty.

You know I have a thing with latin-based names, right?
Well, let me just say this: an "atrius" is… a LOBBY.

Giving pieces of your soul to build some magical artifact to gain some sort of power… well, we've never read something quite like this, have we? 😅

This is so Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Maybe this is finally pickin' up. Maybe.

The demon had flinched, and exactly where Raihn had hit the other one.

How can you flinch in a specific part of your body, in this case on your side?
Maybe I always imagined flinching as something it is not.

He stood at the opposite side of the ballroom […], his back to me. […]
He wore a deep purple jacket cut tight against his frame, a bronze sash wrapped around his waist.

If his back is to you, the jacket is going to hide whatever is supposed to be at his waist.

Why have all the editors gone extinct?

He used his weapon, his wings, the full force of his strength—even his magic, which he rarely employed in our training sessions. […]
But then again, Vincent had never held back with me.

Either he rarely employed his full force or he never held back… stop contradicting yourself.
Please book, get your shit together. 🙄

"I spent my entire life trying to hide the flush of my blood" o____O

Are we still into vampires!? This feels so last century…
But I've been promised "the best sex scene I have ever read".

All the editors of the world have been sacrificed on the altar of the AI gods. There's no other explanation.
Nothing needs to be this long, wrap it up already!

I’m still not clear about the difference between “silver hair” and simply “grey hair”

Ok, it's been since the first book that I'm waiting for her second signet… and who wants to bet it will be something mental?

665 pages in ADE system counting is SO LONG!
I didn't mind the first book being overly long, but once the initial momentum wore off, the lenghtness is starting to feel cumbersome.
WRAP THIS SHIT UP, would you? 🙄

Oh book, I didn't expect this of you… dresses? Really, DRESSES!?
I'm so disappointed 🙄

Did anyone miss Dolores Umbridge? Because I didn't!

Me reading this book:
“Well, this is quite dumb.”
“Oh, this is downright stupid.”
“My god, this is beyond stupid!”

And still, eyerolls notwithstanding, I'm caught in the story.

(But throwing daggers is the stupidest ability you can have in this context… you do realize that you lose your weapon every time you use it!?)

A competition that kills everyone who doesn't win seems pretty stupid to me… second-bests must still be pretty damn good.
But what do I know, I don't even understand people who do crossfit.

So far, a lot of telling without showing.

Well, this is boring 🥱

All these silly excuses to shove some sex scenes in the plot… I find all of this is more cringey than sexy.

I'm disturbed by the fact that everyone here wants to EAT a species of animal that is in danger of extintion. No one to rise a hand and say "ehi, maybe we should protect it"? 😐

Bored out of my mind 🙄

Well, this is BORING.
